Question

At the gas station, gas usually costs 3. This month, there's a sale: for every drink you purchase you save0.20 on gas. Assuming your sale savings are less than the cost of your gas, are your total savings on gas proportional to the number of drinks you purchase?

1) Yes
2) No

Answer 1

The total savings on gas are proportional to the number of drinks purchased, with each drink saving $0.20 on gas and this relationship being consistent.

Step-by-step explanation:

Yes, your total savings on gas are proportional to the number of drinks you purchase at the gas station. Proportionality in mathematics implies that two quantities increase or decrease at the same rate. If you save $0.20 on gas for each drink you buy and your savings are always less than the cost of your gas, then as the number of drinks increases by consistent increments, so do your savings. The formula defining this relationship would be Total Savings = $0.20 × Number of Drinks, assuming you purchase at least one drink and observe the sale savings being less than the cost of gas.
